Our Promised Help

Author: R. J. Bixby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Shall we walk along life’s journey Lyrics: 1 Shall we walk along life’s journey, Thro’ the shadows of the night, On an arm of flesh relying, Trusting only human might? No, the promised help of Jesus Shall sustain us day by day; In the battle’s wild commotion, Thro’ the fierceness of the fray. 2 Shall we see the loved and cherished Passing from us by the way? And the aching hearts so weary, Find no solace day by day? Yet, the promised help of Jesus Shall sustain us even then; Thro’ His grace, which crowned them victors, We shall meet them all again. 3 Shall we walk ’mid gathering shadows, When life’s evening draweth near? Shall the darkness be unbroken, Will no light for us appear? Then the promised help of Jesus As a light shall guide us o’er To the pure celestial city, Over on the other shore. Used With Tune: CONTRA COSTA Text Sources: Precious Jewels by J. H. Leslie and R. B. Mahaffey (New York: C. M. Cady, 1878)

Wake, O Favored Nation

Author: Henry F. Colby Meter: 8.7.8.7 D Appears in 2 hymnals First Line: Wake, O strangely favored nation! Lyrics: 1 Wake, O strangely favored nation! Wake, O land of hopes sublime! Heed the heralds of salvation; Grasp thy God’s accepted time; Bow before the King of glory; Weep the sins that curse thy days; Tell thy vast domain His story; Bid thy millions shout His praise. 2 Ye who freedom’s joys inherit, Children of heroic sires, Humbly plead the Savior’s merit, Stir afresh your altar fires! Holy work for God contriving, Pardon, light and strength implore, Lest the Spirit cease His striving And your day of grace be o’er. 3 Mingled sons of distant races, Finding here what home may be; Fugitives from earth’s far places, Christ can make you truly free. Quickened minds for truth hard pressing, Sons of toil to affluence brought; Lo, the Gospel’s richer blessing, Life eternal, passing thought! 4 With the Christly love that pities Souls enslaved in error’s chains; Bring your gold, ye teeming cities! Bring your ripening fruits, ye plains! Riches, honor, glory, blessing, Give to Jesus more and more; Till, each home and heart possessing, He shall reign from shore to shore.
